Good news, Joburg: The #PLAYWITHOREO pop-up café will be coming to The Zone @ Rosebank on 2 April 2015 for a limited period.

The café is part of a global campaign built around the concept of play, and features a moving dessert bar bursting with Oreo-inspired treats designed by pâtissier Danielle Postma of Moemas. The Cookie Conveyer will offer an impressive menu of desserts, all made with the famous cookie. You can expect popcorn stacks, white chocolate fudge, cookie monster cupcakes, chocolate truffles, cookie-crumb parfait, white chocolate cheesecake, shortbread sandwiches with Magnum ice cream, ice cream sundaes and more. For drinks, you can order everything from cappuccinos and espressos to a crushed Oreo milkshake – and even an old-fashioned glass of milk in which to dunk your cookie. Dessert prices will range from R10 to R40.

That's it. Take all of our money.

You are also invited to get creative with a host of activities, including Oreo Selfie art at the decoration station, where you can create your own cookie character with a selection of edible props. There will also be three miniature photo studios, life-size backdrops for the perfect photo opportunity, and an Oreo seesaw and swing. A selection of merchandise and memorabilia will also be on sale.

*Update: the cafe will now be open on Easter Sunday

    Teeny tiny portions- milkshake was a major letdown tasted like basic choc milkshake with half a teaspoon of crushed oreo’s on top. Kids were unimpressed.!

    Very disappointing. Desserts not as exciting as they looked. Just an over all let down at a very high price.
